Change the Sort Type in your account settings. Much better than changing it manually every time you visit.

I've been going to new, and then going to the second page to avoid post bursts. I just refresh when I want new stuff. It's worked pretty well for me so far. Hopefully 0.18 is out soon and fixes the bursting and hot/active algorithm issues
Was going to say, be brave, sort new. Actually quite a lot going on which is nice to see.
Thanks, I thought I was doing something wrong but I guess this is a common issue then. Bad timing to have such a weird user experience just when we're having an influx of new users, who will surely get frustrated.
I wasn't around then, but apparently the functionality that led to bursting was added when Lemmy was much smaller, so it would just update with 1 or 2 new posts at a time since there were so few. When it ballooned it pretty much broke that unfortunately.
that makes sense
Ok good tip. I'll follow you for some more
even better.. if you're a constant refresher like me do top + 3hr
This is a really good and I think it should be default, after trying it.
Yeah I just did that, because I was tired of seeing the same post ever since I made an account here. I can actually see the new content now.
